[c-nsp] SOLVED: Weird disk0: issues

[Graham Wooden]

As luck would have it, the two 64MB ATA Flash cards were apparently bad from
the get go. I located a third, put the image on there, and who-la, it boots.
Also, I don't get that can't find disk0: error either from the IOS.

Thanks for all that replied. Oh, and this option below does work with the
Sup2s.  Thanks again,
